Blurry enlargements after i download the photos, even if they are taken at a high resolution, i cannot enlarge them to even 100% without blurring the image photos from our other cameras, even at a low resolution will enlarge clearer

Digital pictures have a set pixel density (resolution) when they are taken This can be adjusted on some cameras and on others it cannot. IF you are using a camera with a low rating or you have your camera set that way (more detailed picture with higher settings consumes more disk space) then enlarging the picture causes it to become blurry, Check the camera and see what the Mega Pixel rating is. The bigger the number the better and more expensive the camera..

In a photo editor like photo shop. Be aware even after enlarging a photo, it will not have more info. Small pictures have little info, and will be blurred when enlarged.

As an engine is the heart of a car, so is an enlarger the heart of a darkroom. It is the instrument through which negatives are brought to life. Along with a good lens, it is the enlarger that the rest of the darkroom is built around. A darkroom can have the best plumbing, a great stereo and stainless steel trays, but without a good enlarger and lens, it can be hard to produce quality images.

First, here's a link to a free download of your manual. You should review it from time to time and consult it when you're stuck on a problem. The page numbers in my answer refer to this document.

The settings that impact overall image quality are:

1) ISO Sensitivity (Page 51). This is the sensitivity to light. A properly exposed picture taken at ISO 100 could be taken at ISO 400 in just 1/4 of the time. This means if the subject is blurry at ISO 100, you'll have a better chance of "freezing the action" if you shoot at ISO 400. Overall, the lower the value, the better the picture. Lower ISO values are ideal for bright, sunlit pictures. Higher values tend to be grainier, and are better suited for dark, overcast days and indoors under artificial light. I found shooting my DMC-ZS3 that ISO higher than 400 are too muddied for my liking - try the settings to see what is acceptable to you.

2) Picture Size (Page 52). Pictures that are set for 5M, 6M and 7M (5, 6 & 7 Megabytes respectively) contain a great deal more information than a picture taken of the exact same subject at 0.3M, 1M and 2M (300kb, 1 and 2 Megabytes respectively). A seven megabyte (7M) picture holds over 20 times more information than the 300kb (0.3M) picture of the same subject. This can be hard to detect on our small screens in the camera, but when viewed on a computer monitor, it starts to become noticeable - quickly. Viewing on a 17" computer screen is 8 times larger than the 2 inch screen of the camera - this is effectively "enlarging" the picture.

3) Picture Quality (Page 53). The TZ2 offers just two resolution settings. Standard and Fine. The Fine setting saves the most information possible about the picture and is much better choice than Standard. If high quality images that can be enlarged is what you're after - Fine should be where you leave this setting. Standard can be good choice for web graphics and simple 4x6 prints if you wish.

These settings do come at a cost however. In the example above, between the 0.3M and 7M pictures, you could take twenty (20) very low quality pictures on the 0.3M setting OR a just single high resolution picture in the same amount of space on the card. This means needing to carry more SD (or SDHC) cards or larger capacity SDHC card if you find you current card is filling up too fast with the high resolution / quality settings.

I hope this helps and good luck! Please rate my reply. Thank you.

You can enlarge a photo to any bigger size that you require on any printer. However the clarity of the final product will depend on the resolution that that the original photo was taken at. If the camera resolution was anything abouve 5MP then you have nothing to worry.

On TV shows, they can take a blurry picture and enhance it to crystal clarity. In real life, however, those kinds of miracles aren't possible. In a photo editing program like Photoshop Elements, you can bring up the sharpness a little but you eventually reach a point where the picture no longer looks like a normal picture. The slogan is "garbage in...garbage out"...meaning you can only do so much to what you have to work with.

Enlarging photos will definately lower the quality of the original photo try using some software like photoshop to enlarge it to some extent and then try to print.

go to reduction and enlargement setting and select enlarge it should indicate incriments going up

If you mean to enlarge a small low resolution image and make it a large image with good clarity and resolution, basically you can't really do this...

Well you can up to a point, say doubling the pixel size at maximum, but if you don't have the image size and qualitry to begin with, enlarging will rarely produce a clean image if you are enlarging it by a large factor.

Of course you can enlarge some images really well by say 25% by enlarging then using some sharpening filters like "Unsharp Mask" etc. You can get reasonable results this way, but if you are trying to say enlarge a 100 pixel wide image to 1000 pixels wide, it just won't work terribly well no matter how much sharpening or filtering you do!

Hope that helps!

Blurry images can be caused by any or all of the following: * Distance/Focus range -- the Fun! Digital 320 has a fixed focus range of 3 - 6 feet (1.8 meters) for brightly lit indoor photography, 3 ft. (1 meter) - infinity for outdoor photography. For best results, make sure that the camera is at least 3 feet away from the subject(s) when taking pictures. * Camera/Subject movement -- This is a common cause of blurriness, especially in low-light situations (see Lighting below). Hold the camera as steadily as possible while taking a photo, or use a tripod (a tripod mount is located on the bottom of the camera). Avoid subjects that are in motion. * Insufficient lighting -- the Fun! Digital 320 is designed for taking photos outdoors or in brightly lit environments. Inadequate lighting can exaggerate camera movement and contribute to blurred, "muddied," or uncrisp images. * Lens condition -- Check the lens periodically for smudges. If necessary, wipe the lens clean with a soft, lint-free cloth. Do not use cleaning solutions or chemically treated tissues. * Enlarging images using software -- otherwise normal digital images can appear to become blurry and/or blotchy when over-enlarged in software. To see an image's "true" appearance, use the software's Zoom In or Zoom Out feature to view it at 100%.
